S1E27 - SEVERED Origins - "The Truman Show" PT02

WELCOME BACK, REFINERS!! It's time for more "Severed: Origins" as we continue to break down the 1998 Jim Carrey classic, "The Truman Show." I'm making a long winter meal out of this one, gang. We start this segment by meeting Truman's mother. The lovely Holland Taylor is stellar as "Mom." We hang out with Truman as he's watching some of the offerings on Seahaven's TV channel. Truman hears some weirdness on the radio and sees a LOT of weirdness in a building elevator. He follows both Meryl and Marlon to work then decides he HAS to get off the island. Flights are a month out (it's the busy season!) and the bus is smoking. Mr. Burbank figures he'll drive his way off the island. Don't miss out, Refiners!! Following Truman around Seahaven is the most fun you can have in single digit temps!! Is it going to take me ten hours to get through this two-hour movie?? Find out, NEXT TIME...but for now, enjoy this one. Talk soon!! -Allen S. Huge thanks to Adam Scott, star of 'Severance' and host of the Severance Podcast for recording a custom intro for "Severed."
